FRANKLIN P. KISINGER AND JOSEPH W. DUNHAM, OF ENGLEWOOD, ILL.

MECHANICAL MOTO R.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,999, dated May 24, 1881.

Application tiled April 26, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom tt may concern Be it known that we, F. l?. KISINGER and J. W. DUNHAM, citizens of the United States,

residing at Englewood, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mechanical Motors; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable oth ers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the ac companying drawings, and to the letters or gures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a motor embodying our improvements. Fig. 2 isa vertical sectional view of the trip-hook, and Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view at right angles to Fig. 2.

This invention has relation to mechanical motors; and it consists in the improved features of construction and combination hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out inthe claims.

The device is intended to be first wound up by hand, and is afterward operated by any suitable power, such as engine or horse power, as will be hereinafter explained.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates Va frame supporting the gearing? B is a double winding-drum, having a crank, C, and a gear-wheel, D. One portion of the drum B is larger than the other.

E is a shaft, having gears F and G.

H is another shaft, having gears I and J.

K is a shaft, having gears L and M and a friction-wheel, N.

A governor, O, is mounted on a platform, P, and is connected by a miter-gear, Q, with a miter-gear, R, on a shaft, S, having a gearwheel, T, meshing with the wheel M.

U is a rope which is wound upon the larger portion of the drum B, and runs over pulleys Y V on a frame, W.

X is weight for unwinding the cord U. A second cord, Z, is connected to the smaller portion of the drum B, and is wound thereon as the cord U is unwound by the weightrX.

The governor O, by means of the presserfoot O pressing upon the friction-wheel W, regulates the speed of the motor.

A track, Y, is placed at thebase of the frame A, and is grooved at a to receive a double hook, b, on the trip-arm c. The trip-arm chas a slotted arm, d, extending up within it, and a spring, e, for returning it to its normal position after having been displaced. Wheels f fare provided at the lower end of the arm c,

by means of which it is guided and permitted to travel in the track Y. The upper end of the trip-arm c is provided with a pivoted catch, g, operated by a spring, h, to return it to place, and this catch g is intended to lock the arm d until the hook b engages a bolt, t, in the track Y. At the center of the track Y, in the rear of the same, is a hole, j, on each side of which is a pulley, 7c. The cord Z is attached to a loop at the bottom of the trip-arm c, and may run over either of these pulleys k.

An engine or ahorse may be attached to the catch g, and the trip-arm drawn along the track Y. The arm will travel on the wheels until the hook d engages the bolt t', when the spring e will be retracted and the latch y released and the power thrown therefrom. As soon as this occurs the springs @and h will re place the arm d.

It will be observed that when the cord Z is drawn upon it will unwind, and at the same time will wind up the cord U, and the reverse will/also take place after the cords are in place and the cord U once wound.

Z designates a crank, slotted so as to adjust it ou the shaft K, to connect the motor with a pump for the purpose of pumping water intoa tank at railroad-stations. A churn may be connected to this crank instead of a pump. In fact, the motor may be used for many useful purposes.

The track Y is also used to protect the trip from the weather by turning in the recess m between upper and lower flanges of the track,

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim is- 1. In a motor, the combination of a presserfoot engaging a friction-wheel, a governor, and mechanism for operating the same, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. In a motor, the combination, with the douroo' ble drum, cords, and weight, ofthe track and the trip-arm, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. In a motor, the trip-arm composed ot" the arms c and d, the spring e, the hook 1;,nnd the pivoted catch g, constructed and operatin g substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

4. In a motor, the combination of a double drum, a. trip-arm, a track, a weight, and n governor, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

5. In a motor, a trip-arm provided with wheels, a spring, a latch, and a double hook adapted to be connected to a. Winding and unwinding cord, in combination with a track pro- 15 vided with stops, substantially as and for the purposes set forth..

In testimony whereof we afx our signatures in presence of two Witnesses.
